Consumption and prices of tobacco products in Canada and the United States are compared over the period 1981 to 1989. In Canada, consumption has fallen from a higher level and at a faster rate than in the United States (3.52 kg/adult to 2.48 kg/adult vs 3.21 kg/adult to 2.48 kg/adult). With respect to cost, the real tobacco price index in Canada has grown faster than its US counterpart. These results are attributed to higher taxation practices, vigorous legislation, and the leadership role adopted by the Canadian government during the 1980s.
对1981年至1989年期间加拿大和美国的烟草产品消费情况及价格进行了比较。在加拿大，烟草消费量从较高水平下降，且下降速度比美国更快（从人均3.52千克降至人均2.48千克，而美国是从人均3.21千克降至人均2.48千克）。在成本方面，加拿大的实际烟草价格指数增长速度高于美国。这些结果归因于更高的税收政策、有力的立法以及加拿大政府在20世纪80年代所发挥的领导作用。
